ActionCloseUpdated September 2026

How do I create a Close task?

Short answer: You can create task in Close by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Close Create Task action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Task.

What does the Create Task action do in Close?

Creates a follow-up task for a sales rep tied to a lead with due date and notes. Useful for "deal stagnant for N days → create follow-up task for the AE" hygiene automation.

What inputs does Create Task require?

Required: Lead ID, Task Description, Due Date. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Close returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Close returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Create Task support batch operations?

Run Create Task inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Close's rate limits.
